SONY Audio HCD-CP1

This Sony Audio combo HCD-CP1 has a CD player failing to read its CD's. A replacement KSS213C did not cure my problem, (Yes, I removed its shipping shunt solderjoint). It graceously travels its laser to track zero, you can see and hear it tries to focus but keeps saying NO DISC and will not turn its spindle. A second and third unit have exactly the same problem. Swapping components did not solve anything, there must be a typical component/alignment failure in all my three units. Is there anybody out there having knowledge about these typical Sony type of premature component failures ??

As it tries to focus, if you spin the disc do you hear the squeaky noise indicating that the focus servo has locked onto the disc? If so then perhaps its the spindle motor/ drive IC. If it won't close the focus servo then you're probably looking at the head amp area/psu. Have you tried a new flexi connector? that can give strange fault conditions. Also check that the spindle height hasn't moved on its shaft. regards AW

The laser might not be getting lit up. There could be some other drive-related issue. I think this is a fairly recent model - might be worth it to see how much the flat rate service cost is at the Laredo, TX. facility. Otherwise one would just need the service manual, test equipment, some experience, and maybe some luck.

SYMPTOMS The CD sound skips, the unit won't read a disc or locate a track.

CAUSE Due to the small diameter of GEAR A used in the KSM the problems can result.

RESOLUTION Replace the Gear A with the new improved type.

Part number 2-626-907-11

Don't know if the above applies to yours/
